Weak-Light Image Enhancement Method Based on Adaptive Local Gamma Transform and Color Compensation (open access)

Weak-Light Image Enhancement Method Based on Adaptive Local Gamma Transform and Color Compensation

This article proposes a correction method for image enhancement models based on an adaptive local gamma transformation and color compensation inspired by the illumination reflection model. It is demonstrated that the proposed method adaptively reduces the influence of uneven illumination to avoid overenhancement and improves the visual effect of low-light images.
